Error while sending .XLS attachment

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm trynig to send an email with an .XML attachment. I use FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to do it. When I use this code:

DESCRIBE TABLE lt_objbin LINES l_records.

lt_objpack-transf_bin = 'X'.

lt_objpack-head_start = 1.

lt_objpack-head_num = 1.

lt_objpack-body_start = 1.

lt_objpack-body_num = l_records.

lt_objpack-obj_name = ls_doc_chng-obj_name.

lt_objpack-obj_descr = ls_doc_chng-obj_name.

lt_objpack-doc_type = 'XLS'.

lt_objpack-doc_size = l_records * 255.

APPEND lt_objpack.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

document_data = ls_doc_chng

TABLES

packing_list = lt_objpack

object_header = lt_objhead

contents_bin = lt_objbin

contents_txt = lt_objtxt

receivers = lt_reclist

EXCEPTIONS

too_many_receivers = 1

document_not_sent = 2

document_type_not_exist = 3

operation_no_authorization = 4

parameter_error = 5

x_error = 6

enqueue_error = 7

OTHERS = 8.

I get such an error: "Message cannot be processed as it cannot be converted".

When I change lt_objpack-doc_type to 'RAW' everything is OK, but I get attachment that has 'TXT' extension. If I change it manually to ".xls" Excel opens the file without any problems. I looked at <a href="http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/reporting/email/attach_xls.htm">http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/reporting/email/attach_xls.htm</a>

and it seems like there is nothing wrong with my program.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

hi

try this:

DESCRIBE TABLE lt_objbin LINES l_records.

lt_objpack-transf_bin = 'X'.

lt_objpack-head_start = 1.

lt_objpack-head_num = 1.

lt_objpack-body_start = 1.

lt_objpack-body_num = l_records.

lt_objpack-obj_name = ls_doc_chng-obj_name.

<b>lt_objpack-obj_descr = 'Test.XLS'.</b>

lt_objpack-doc_type = 'XLS'.

lt_objpack-doc_size = l_records * 255.

APPEND lt_objpack.

I've tried, but it didn't help.

Maybe there is a way to change an extension of a file without changing doc_type ?
